[RCT 3] Kodiak Hills - Haunted Hills Halloween!

[I305KDHave I mentioned how awesome donkeys are?]

I like it. It really reminds me alot of Mystery Mine. I assume that is what you were going for?

[molemaster43A not-so-awesome title]

Yes, I do see the Mystery Mine in it. It also reminds me of Oblivion at Alton Towers which is a thrill ride, but with no inversions. It does looks pretty nice!

@I305KD - Thank you! And yep.

@molemaster43 - Thanks!

Two weeks after the opening of The Ghastly Manor, I arrived at Kodiak Hills on a particularly rainy day. I expected light crowds but....



The Alpine Cafe is the most popular eatery at this park. I had to actually make reservations to come back later but the cobb salad and mushroom swiss burger are amazing!



Heavy crowds were here today.



Atleast not a lot of people were in line for Slippery Rock Falls in this thunderstorm. Don't ask why I rode....



The "Hotel" got its fry stand! It has interesting flavors, like dill pickle, soy sauce and... strawberry?! I felt like I was at Tokyo Disneyland. This also goes to show that guests don't know how to throw trash away when the trash can is right there...





Little to no lines for The Ghastly Manor which was... interesting. Oh well, more rides for me!



Perhaps the biggest draw for today was the "Wild Fields Fair" section of the park.



But first, I must ride Blue Ridge, especially with so little lines!



And I snapped this picture of the Dark Castle's new exterior remodeling. New arches, roofs, cornices!





In the Wild Fields Fair, they had a Tilt-a-Whirl! One of my favorites!



And a scrambler! It's called Timber Twister!



A new eating area. Some of the best chicken is here and it offers a great view of the Chairswing and the mountain behind it!



And the Chairswing! You skim the tops of the trees! It is quite beautiful!



Looking back towards the village.

6-30-12: Tragedy in Local Theme Park
On the morning of June 29th, the unimaginable happened at the new theme park, Kodiak Hills in Asheville NC. The park has a great line-up of attractions, one being the Dark Castle, a spooky dark-ride. But at 11:27 A.M., an effect inside the ride building caught on fire. The whole ride system shut down, leaving 6 people stuck inside the burning building. The ride operator said he wasn't paying attention and didn't notice anything. (he is now being charged for manslaughter.) Four of the six people died from probable smoke inhalation. The other two were saved when people walking by noticed smoke coming from the building and called 911. Other park workers bravely rushed in and managed to get the two people out of their vehicle in time before the fire department appeared and extinguished the fire.



The exterior to the attraction is now boarded up. The park remains open, but the ride symbolizes the horrible tragedy that had just occured. The status of the attraction remains unknown.

[coasterdude2011Donkeys give me orgiastic scream!]

This park really is fantastic, I love the atmosphere and it really shines through. Ghostly Manor's atmosphere alone is something that most RCT3 players can't achieve.

Thank you! There is A LOT of people who create far greater things with RCT3 than me so that is a major compliment!

[stashua123Which came first the turtle or the donkey?]

That is one really good park but you need a wooden coaster. Otherwise AWESOME.

stashua123 - Thank you! And I've been pondering it...

It's been a while since I've visited Kodiak Hills. The last time was before the accident for the grand opening of the new Wild Fields Fair area. But, I made my way down there for the grand opening of Danger Forest (new area) that houses a new enclosed roller coaster/dark-ride: Forsaken Mine. Also, a new ride has made it's way to Wild Fields Fair!



Just a classic Carousel! The park needed more kids rides though and this was perfect! It is sort of tucked away from the rest of the Wild Fields Fair section and is cornered by fences and beautiful trees.



But just beyond the Wild Fields Fair lies an old and dilapidated mining town where the star attraction is an indoor roller coaster.



An eerie fog envelops part of the town that has clearly been abandoned for many years.



The entrance to Forsaken Mine. Not too hard to find.



A small abandoned shack helps set the mood of this creepy mining town.



The exit area of Forsaken Mine tells guests something wrong happened here many years ago due to the crashed and rusted train and overgrown trees and other plants.

[B.A.BDonkeys are my way of life!]

Can you make a POV for your indoor roller coaster. Also I love your park, so much detail.

[coastercrazy 9Donkeys are my way of life!]

The atmosphere of this park just is amazing! Every area of the park actually seems like a different park! The moods it gives you... just wow!
